Kristie Lu Stout and the GLOBAL OFFICE team explore the thorny issue of global expansion in February. Globalization has fans and enemies alike, but that hasn’t stopped companies from going global. The rewards are obvious, but the risks include overexpansion, economic and social upheaval and cultural corporate differences.
In GLOBAL OFFICE’s networking segment, the program examines UK based Monstermob, a small firm that has grown out of nowhere to become a 440 million dollar UK listed company. Kristie Lu Stout talk to Monstermob’s CEO and find out why he has ambitions to expand into the Chinese market and anywhere else he can possibly go.
Two of the business world’s most respected thinkers, the much published Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones, share their thoughts on globalization and what it takes to be a great leader in the current working world.
GLOBAL OFFICE also visits a Chinese company which has announced that it will only employ people born in the year of the dog, before checking out various other quirky work practices as long as they involve our canine companions.
